As noted this sounds like something the former guy did on a regular basis and just like China is helping Russia with this so are members of the Republican Party helping the former guy. I wonder who is copying who? |

I have little doubt that chemical weapons will follow. If you want to know what he's going to do just see what he's accusing others of doing. Yep, that’s his playbook. 😞 |

It appears someone is not happy. Once a Soviet-era KGB officer, always a Soviet-era KGB officer. This is how it works in their system - nobody wants to tell the truth because nobody in power wants to hear the truth. You lie, pretend things are fine. Then when things go really bad, someone has to be the scapegoat. It doesn't really matter who, so long as the guy in charge has someone to yell at/fire/execute/punish. |

Interesting... Big and slow Turkish-made drones have been thwarting Russian advances in Ukraine warTimothy Evans March 11, 2022 The fog of war often is pretty thick, if not impenetrable. That could be why military experts around the world are having a hard time figuring out how Ukraine's air defenses, thus far, largely have bested Russia's air assaults. Ukraine’s most sophisticated attack drone, which has achieved remarkable success against Vladimir Putin's high-tech air force, is a slow, low-flying and completely defenseless drone. As the New York Times reports, many "experts" predicted that the few drones that the Ukrainian forces managed to get off the ground would be shot down in hours by the Russians and be a non-factor in the war. That hasn't been the case. Turkish-made Bayraktar TB2 model drones, which buzz along at about half the speed of a Cessna at about 50 or 60 knots, not only still are flying, they're also shooting guided missiles at Russian missile launchers, tanks and supply trains and wreaking havoc on them. *** The NYTimes writes: "Drones have become a sort of lumbering canary in the war’s coal mine, a sign of the astonishing resiliency of the Ukrainian defense forces and the larger problems that the Russians have encountered." *** Even with the drones’ record of success, everyone expected that, once they really faced the full gamut of Russian defenses, they would stand no chance,” said Lauren Kahn, who studies drone warfare at the New York-based Council on Foreign Relations. Their survival and continued use “is really raising questions about the Russians’ capabilities,” she said. www.rawstory.com/turkish-made-drones-thwarting-russia-advances-in-ukraine-war/ |

So let me get this straight. Based on what this guy told President Zelensky If the countries of the Middle East decided to try and get rid of Israel the advice that should be given to Israel is to “just surrender “?

It doesn't really matter who, so long as the guy in charge has someone to yell at/fire/execute/punish. Because, of course, he's infallible. He's certainly worked hard at giving that impression to the Russian people. His shirtless sportsman clips make me gag, but I suspect he thinks he looks pretty hot (& has people around him who tell him he's right). Trouble with surrounding oneself with terrified sycophants is that they'll tell you that your idea to walk off a cliff is brilliant. |

I never really understood it before... but seeing how that all went down, I finally got it. I was so happy to see this series get lots of viewers, because I thought that maybe - finally - people would understand the true meaning of "political correctness." Political correctness is not when someone asks you to not use ethnic slurs. It is not when someone asks you to be aware that certain things can be triggers to traumatized people. It's not when someone asks you to please not use the R-word or the N-word. It never was. This was the meaning that certain people in the US decided to give it, but it had nothing to do with actual political correctness. Political correctness is when you overlook reality in order to align with a political agenda. It's when you lie because the truth doesn't fit your political beliefs. It's when you lie because the truth might get you and/or your family shot or exiled, so you tell the person above you whatever they want to hear. Look up Trofim Lysenko. His theory of genetics led directly to millions of people starving to death. But because his theory was something the communist party liked, it because the official science of the USSR. He convinced the leaders of the USSR and China that by exposing seeds to cold temperatures, they would be able to be planted earlier in the spring. If you were in charge of farming, you could try to raise the alarm and warn of the danger - but you would end up exiled for being politically incorrect. So everyone went along with the theories and not only did millions in the USSR die, it caused the great Chinese famine as well. Lysenko and his politically correct theories are likely responsible for more deaths than anyone else in the history of the world.Chernobyl was political correctness. What we are seeing in this war right now is political correctness. Someone may be telling Putin the truth - but not unless they have someone else they can throw under the bus. Putin may be getting reports from various sources that are telling him things aren't going well. Or he may be mad because the reality isn't jiving with what he's hearing - if they are really winning, why haven't they taken Kiev yet? Why is Zelenskyy still making videos? Nobody is going to tell him the truth because nobody wants to risk their own neck. That doesn't mean he won't find the truth somehow. And when he does, someone will need to pay. It may be the Ukrainians, but there will be some Russians in the mix. Because everyone understands it can not be the fault of Putin, who makes no mistakes ever. |

I had NO IDEA that's what happened, and the govt scared me too. It amazes me that so much beauty comes from Russia - literature, music, art, etc, and also so much greed and corruption. I know not all the Russians are like that, but it just flaberghasts me how many of them in leadership are so corrupt, from the Czars, to Lenin, to Stalin, and right on up to today. I am sure something could be similar to our leaders too, US Congress and politics are so full of greed and corrupt, but I honestly do not think there is as much evil as what I see in Russia, or who likens to Hitler. |

This may be Putin's yacht. It is in dry dock in Italy. A former crew member says yes!

Russia just hit a town just 70 miles from the Polish border!! I am afraid Russia is going to miss a target in Ukraine (lets face it --- their accuracy sucks) and instead hit somewhere in Poland. They can call it an accident and yet it will possibly get Nato countries involved. |

Not everyone in Russia is protesting.
